Cinnamon Stones Villa Cinnamon Stones - is an upscale 3 bedroom/3 bath villa that sits high on the hillside of Estate Catherineberg, a small prestigious community of luxury villas, surrounded by the Virgin Islands National Park.
Overlooking Cinnamon Bay, Peter Bay, Francis Bay and Johnson's Reef, you can see from Lovango in the west, north to Jost Van Dyke and east to Tortola. It is a big, breathtaking view!
The Great Room is painted a cool gray lavender, the color of the British Virgin Islands and the sea at dawn and dusk, which you see through six louvered mahogany French doors. All the mahogany doors and windows were handcrafted on St. John. The floor is imported Italian limestone. There is a vaulted kingpost ceiling over the sitting area which has two very comfy sofas, perfect for watching a movie. Or you may prefer choosing something to read from a collection of over 200 books of contemporary fiction - many award winners and best sellers of the past ten years. Original paintings by well known St. John artists hang throughout the house. Off the Great Room is a small office with desk, fax machine and more books. A guest bath is adjacent.
Every door in the Great Room opens to the gracious verandah and the glorious blue sea. You can sit in the swinging rope chair facing the rock shelter, the faint remains of stone terraced farming, the tyre palm grove, the bay rum tree and beautiful Cinnamon Beach below.
The lower deck is where the 40X8 lap pool and hot tub are located. On the deck there are two roomy umbrellas that can be moved to shelter you from the sun as you lounge on the steps in the water. All the decks are made of Trex, which has no splinters and is soft on bare feet. It is roomy around the pool with six lounge chairs along with additional tables and chairs.
There is a laundry
room off the pool deck with a washer, dryer and small refrigerator for cold
drinks. There is also an adjacent full bathroom which opens onto the deck.
The interior dining area has a large antique teak table which can easily seat eight.
The table settings include dinnerware by Villeroy and Bock, stainless flatware by Gorham. There is an abundance of serving pieces, platters, bowls and trays. A wine rack is built into the adjacent counter. The kitchen is designed for serious cooking with a Decor gas stove, Sub Zero refrigerator and a very quiet Bosch dishwasher. The white custom made cupboards with red hand glazed tile counter tops are filled with all the important and not so important kitchen equipment from William-Sonoma. Off the kitchen is a pantry for storage of large pots, pans, and picnic equipment.
The pale grey walls, white woodwork and mahogany floors and doors create a beautiful space for the St. Croix four poster mahogany bed. The screened porch has a rocker and an armchair. The bathroom has a large screened outdoor shower with a magnificent ocean view. There is a large walk-in closet for all your island attire.
On the lower level are two large bedrooms each with a unique bathroom and walk-in closet.
The beautiful lower verandah has more comfortable rockers and arm chairs with a hammock for afternoon naps. A circular second stairway leads to the Great Room from the end of the verandah.
At Cinnamon Stones you are surrounded by the beauty of the woods and the sea. The house is a tribute to architectural restraint and a sensitivity to Caribbean style. It is place to love and to return again and again.
